Chapter 23

A momentary hiatus from the Queen's Mission to remember our time at the Institute of Witteral. Hired to help with the graduation party, so says Mrs. Moongazer, only for her to lowball and underpay our rates - a measly 25 gold for catering, bodyguarding, logistics and transportation. Not even 2500 gold would've been enough for last minute preparations of that degree.

To make things worse, Mrs. Moongazer was not only a stingy penny pincher, but also a phobic helicopter, constantly hovering over her son, Lorosaer, whom this graduation party was for. Lorosaer wanted a life of his own; training to be a fighter and combatant, and a romance of his own with Pyfenos - his partner and sweetheart.

And so the quest became, instead, to aid Lorosaer and Pyfenos in wrecking a party - in freedom and emancipation. Worming our way into the party's planning staff, setting the stage for Pyfenos and Lorosaer to escape...though they had the courage to do so on their own, and didn't need much help from us.

To our surprise, Lorosaer - though full of tears in anxiety and rebellious courage - rose up against his mother to fight for what was rightfully his. I will admit I had a shred of hope that Moongazer would realize her actions were the opposite of love, but alas, her evil and phobia was darker than. Instead of loving her son and being by his side in life, she chose to attack the party, along with Lorosaer and Pyfenos.

We swiftly ended Moongazer's tyranny...and left her unconscious - though safe - at the academy grounds. Taking our rightful pay, we instead funded Lorosaer and Pyfenos' life together - and hopefully a sweet, sweet honeymoon.
